85d1986a-6617-468b-8408-fcf0b5613d9f | These figures indicate, at least to a certain extent, the reason why during 1928 I have from time to time been constrained to ask you for extra help in carrying out this work. It is refreshing to see that, contrariwise, there has been throughout a decrease in the percentage of defective children found at these examinat... |
11ab8833-96b4-4086-8f2e-673581a8f1d5 | The number of children on the school register on 31st December, 1928, was 7,201, compared with 7,001 on 31st December, 1927. During the year, the Medical Officer paid 131 visits to 20 departments for inspection purposes, examinations being conducted throughout the year on the various school premises.

Herewith, in deference to precedent, I am submitting a table of ... |
03af8dc2-5e57-405d-9cd4-18411955ffe4 | A pair of clippers do for a whole family and they are quite cheap, and if parents claim they have not time and opportunity to keep their boys' heads clean by other methods, at least they can keep them clean by keeping their hair clipped short. There is no hardship in proceeding with every .coercive measure you have to ... |

The Clinic at East Street too has been used for a certain number of re... |

I do, however, look upon this change, involving whatever expenditure it does, as essentia... |
